A Pen Argyl man may face trial on a charge of impersonating a Bangor police officer, authorities said.

David S. Vanbuskirk, Jr., 20, of the 200 block of West
Main Street, appeared Wednesday before District
Judge Todd Strohe to waive his right to a preliminary hearing. The charge was
sent to Northampton County Court.

Vanbuskirk allegedly called Vivienne Ather, of the first block of South Main Street, and on a voice mail message told the woman he was Bangor Police Officer Kevin Lillis. He then asked that Ather return property belonging to Vanbuskirk, according to police.

Ather instead called back Lillis at 1:26 a.m. July 18 and asked if he had called her, in which Lillis responded he didn't. Ather later brought the recording to police headquarters and police matched the voice with Vanbuskirk.

Vanbuskirk admitted to police he impersonated Lillis and called Ather, police said.
